Up for auction is a 1989 Toyota Dual Rear Wheel chassis-cab truck. The frame, cab, and axles were factory built by Toyota with a 137" wheelbase and true dual rear wheels with a full floating rear axle. The truck was purchased on e-Bay in June of 2006 from a bricklayer in New Jersey. Either he or a previous owner had a Rugby electric over hydraulic dump mechanism installed between the frame and stake body.
The entire truck is 210" long, 67" tall, and 90" wide at the mirrors. The stake body has inside dimensions of 106" long by 73" wide.
The engine was professionally rebuilt in late 2006 by a Toyota Master Tech including: NEW factory block and pistons; 3 angle valve job with resurfaced heads; new oil and water pumps; new timing belt, drive belts, and idler pulleys; new A/C pulley and clutch; new complete clutch assembly; and more. The entire blue vinyl interior was removed and a gray cloth interior (with a couple small rips) from a V6 1 Ton was installed. The much lower mileage but identical transmission from the 1 Ton was also swapped in. Cruise control was installed. Sturdy 110" ramps that store under the bed and a remote control electric winch were added to pull mowers, etc into the bed. Sort of like a small flatbed tow-truck.
In 2010 spring leaves from a another chassis-cab were trimmed and added to make 6 leaves per side, allowing 3000 lb payloads to be carried. Wood panels 24" high for transporting dirt; and 60" high with a tarp for catching wood chips were made.
Also that year, the cooling fan exploded due to a faulty fan clutch causing the dents in the hood and requiring replacement of the battery, washer reservoir, fan clutch, fan, radiator, and power steering pump.
Within the last 2 years the front upper control arms, muffler, horn, blower resistor, and brake master cylinder have been replaced and the front fenders and the welds at the rear of the cab have become rusty.
In May of 2013 the truck was rear ended which destroyed the trailer hitch and tore its mounting bolts through the frame. The tail-light lenses were broken then taped. The rear-most exhaust hangar was broken off.
The frame has developed serious rust problems; in particular the area around the front sway bar bracket is going fast.

2017 Toyota 86 brings new name and fresh face to New York
Wed, Mar 23 2016The Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ seem unable to get away from their negative reputation online. The Mazda MX-5 Miata has no problem gaining fans that want an affordable sports car. However, the Toyobaru twins, which also offer attainable performance, can't seem to find a similar footing. The 2017 Toyota 86 has a new name, a fresh face, and a little more power. Even with the latest upgrades, the 2.0-liter boxer four-cylinder's 205 horsepower and 156 pound-feet of torque doesn't make it a powerhouse by modern standards. However, a naturally aspirated engine with over 100 horsepower per liter is still rather impressive in this price range. Toyota doesn't have details yet, but the company claims that new ratios for the six-speed manual transmission also offer increase the coupe's performance. Updated shock tuning and spring rates should sharpen the handling a little, too. View 12 Photos The 2017 86's aesthetics are very similar to the outgoing FR-S, but Toyota uses this opportunity to keep things modern. The coupe now has LED headlights and taillights. The new central intake that stretches along the front also looks more aggressive. If you're still not happy with the 86 or BRZ, which also has a facelift on the way, the good news is that a replacement is coming eventually. Fuji Heavy Industries P\president Yasuyuki Yoshinaga has confirmed twice that Subaru and Toyota have a deal to create a second generation model. They haven't set an introduction date, though.

2013 Toyota RAV4 earns 'poor' rating in IIHS small overlap crash test [w/video]
Thu, 11 Jul 2013When the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety tested a batch of SUVs in its small overlap frontal crash test earlier this year, it held off on putting the Toyota RAV4 in the blender because the new, 2013 model was due to arrive shortly after the test. The new crossover might be better than it was before, but it could still only manage a rating of "Poor" in the test that has been a bugbear for a number of manufacturers.
Among other issues, the IIHS noted that the steering column moved seven inches to the right causing the crash test dummy to practically miss the airbag, the dummy's left foot was trapped in deformed sheetmetal and the dummy's head hit the instrument panel.
The 2013 RAV4 earned the Top Safety Pick rating by scoring well in the Institute's four other tests. A good score in this particular test would have earned it the Top Safety Pick+ rating that is so far only claimed by the 2014 Subaru Forester and 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport in the SUV category. There's a press release below with more details and a video of the test.
Toyota fills in details about its future design direction and global platform
Fri, 25 Oct 2013
"In the future, out of 100 customers, we want to excite ten of them instead of not offending all 100."
Almost all of the details about the Toyota New Group Architecture (TNGA) strategy have come out since the initiative was first reported on in March of this year, but Autoblog did learn a few new things about it on a recent trip to Japan. Probably the second-most important detail is that each new segment platform will be based around a common hip point to create an "optimal driving position architecture."
